When a Greek shipping magnate and a stylish presidential widow get hitched, gossip is sure to circulate. We came for this book’s cover but stayed for the purple prose, which spares no adjectives in its breathless interpretation of Ari and Jackie’s famous courtship.

The book’s title doesn’t lie, either. Included within is a tally of expenses incurred by the couple during their first year of marriage. Here, we’ll give you a taste:

Here’s what the duo spent during the year following their October 28, 1968 wedding:

WEDDING:$40,500
(On Onassis’s private island)

HOMES:$4,635,000
(Rent, construction, and decoration of assorted apartments and villas in at least 6 cities.)
